Literary techniques refers to any specific,
deliberate constructions of language which an
author uses to convey meaning. An author’s use
of a literary technique usually occurs with a single
word or phrase, or a particular group of words or
phrases, at one single point in a text.
What are Techniques?Figurative Language

Simile:A figure of speech involving the comparison
of one thing with another thing of a different
kind, used to make a description more

not literally applicable.

form.

The fire ran wild across the street.
